The Birthday Party

by Harold Pinter
directed by Tom Ross
EXTENDED to March 11, 2007!

Due to popular demand, Aurora has added a week of performances. But hurry, tickets are selling fast!

Aurora celebrates Harold Pinter’s 2005 Nobel Prize by producing his first full-length play written fifty years ago. Acclaimed as “a brilliant play: one that was ahead of its time in 1958 but that now seems frighteningly timeless” (London Guardian), it is one of Pinter’s seminal works.

"Masterfully played." - Contra Costa Times (read the full review)

 

"Aurora's expert production is not only sure and intelligent but palpably enthusiastic" - SF Bay Guardian (read the full review)
